More about Chyrese
- 8 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
I am a licensed clinical social worker in Utah. I received my master in social work degree from the University of Utah and have been counseling for about eight years. While in school, I did a concentration in forensics and earned a certificate in criminology and corrections. I worked within the criminal justice system for about six years with adolescents and adults. While working in the criminal justice system, I was able to work with clients who have a variety of concerns. These included addiction, grief and loss, anger management, conflict resolution, self-esteem, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and transitioning to life outside of the criminal justice system.
I currently work with parents in helping them navigate the work-life balance. Being a working parent myself, I have a strong passion for understanding the variety of challenges that are going to happen. Being able to access and receive the necessary resources available to help parents is crucial for navigating our busy lives. Sometimes being able to navigate our emotional and mental health is one of the best things we can do as a parents.
This experience is about your personal growth. My position in working with you is to find the areas in your life that are not working well and see how they can best be improved and encourage your further development in life’s challenges. My approach uses a combination of cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, strength-based, solution focused, and mindfulness. Making the decision to work with a therapist is not always an easy one. There are times it can feel uncomfortable to share your personal experiences with someone you have never met. I want to assure that I will not judge the choices you have made in your life or the feelings you have.
There will likely be times that this experience will be difficult and others where you will enjoy it. I hope you are able to embrace these opposing concepts through your journey, as it shows your growth and work being accomplished. While I am on this journey with you and am excited to begin getting to know you better, I want you to feel comfortable in talking with me. If you have any concerns about the therapeutic process, I encourage you to discuss them with me at any time in this journey. Again, I am excited to begin working with you and getting to know you better!

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

I’ve really enjoyed working with Chyrese. She is great at helping me through my problems while remaining empathetic. I look forward to therapy, which is new for me.
Chyrese is amazing. She listens and understands my concerns and feeling most of all.
Chyrese was a huge support beginning with my first appointment. She listened and quickly got to the heart of what I needed. Every session since has been the same. I’m very grateful for her expertise.
She’s amazing she’s helped me so much.
Chyrese is competent and caring. She provides me a lot of space to express my feelings and provides insights and tools to help me reframe and navigate my experience. I've really enjoyed my sessions with her so far and would highly recommend working with her.
I feel like she really looks out for me and knows how to help and challenge me so I can be happier overall. It’s been an amazing growing experience. I recommend this app to everyone and definitely love my therapist.
After being through a few counselors I didn’t really feel like helped I found Chyrese she was caring concerning and listened actively, she is helping me work on something I have kept bottled and I finally understand it and am ready to move passed it I know 100% she can help me through it.
She gives some great advice.
Chyrese has been very helpful to me. I’ve been dealing with some recent traumas in my life which have caused me extreme anxiety, stress & fears. She had helped me talk about things, and listened. She’s a really good listener. She is focused on my goals to help me find ways to cope and heal. I had worked with a few therapists prior to Chyrese that weren’t a great fit, finding a therapist that fits who you are looking for makes a world of difference. I’m so happy to have Chyrese in my corner as I grow, heal and change.
Chyrese is kind and patient, she makes you feel comfortable right away and has a great written tone about her.
She truly is there and is respectful as well as a good listener and offers the best help she can
